Nothing says fall like the changing of leaves on the trees to bring about fall colors as the season changes. Fall is my favorite time of year, and I especially love getting to crochet during the fall season! If you love fall too, then you are going to love my latest free corner to corner crochet pattern, the fall leaf square. Using corner to corner crochet color changes, you can make a beautiful fall leaf that will have you dreaming of fall.
This C2C crochet blanket square pattern is a part of the Pumpkin Patch Blanket pattern, but can be made by itself as well! You can get the full Pumpkin Patch Blanket pattern in my Etsy and Ravelry shops, and join the crochet along for it below.

Want to work through your C2C pattern much faster?
Want to work through your crochet pattern a lot faster than using the graph? Though C2C crochet graphs are super helpful with crochet the pattern, I’ve found that the written pattern helps make things a lot faster! Not only can you see the exact number of stitches that you need, but you don’t have to worry about losing track of what rows you’re on with the graphs.
You can get the free graph pattern below, but if you’d like to use the written instructions, you can find them in the premium printable PDF for this C2C crochet pattern on Ravelry or Etsy.
Construction
Isn’t it cool how we can create pictures with C2C crochet? For this crochet blanket, you’ll be using basic C2C crochet techniques to create the square. You’ll need to know how to do the basic C2C crochet stitch, made from double crochets, chains, and slip stitches. It also includes color changes. You can do these by either carrying the colors, or by creating yarn bobbins that you join to the square as you need a different yarn color.
If you’re new to C2C crochet, I’ve got a great Beginner’s Guide to C2C Crochet, that walks you through all of the techniques you need to start! It walks you through how to do the C2C crochet stitch, increase and decrease stitches, and has other helpful tips. You can find it here on my blog at: Beginner’s Guide to C2C Crochet.

The Yarn
To make this crochet blanket square, I used We Crochet’s Brava Worsted Yarn. Lately, I’ve been using this yarn for almost everything! From garments, to accessories, to cozy blankets, this yarn is great for just about everything. I used it 4 different colors to make this C2C crochet blanket square pattern: White, Brindle, Paprika, and Canary. You can use any colors you would like though!
If you don’t want to use We Crochet Brava, you can use any other worsted weight yarn to make this pattern! Some of my favorites include: Lion Brand Basic Stitch, Lion Brand Basic Stitch Premium, Red Heart Super Saver, and We Crochet Mighty Stitch.
